Winner: Build a Better Mouse Trap with LEGO

Peter recently had a mouse in his flat. Sure, he could have gone out and purchased a simple no-kill mouse trap or he could have made one using a jar and nickle. But where's the style in that?

Honorable Mentions

We got a lot of great entries and we'd be remiss if we didn't share some of our favorites. Here are some of the entries that really impressed us.

Zach created this clever little desk organizer to hold pens, pencils, and other supplies close at hand. He also included a display stand for his business cards. When his coworkers find his LEGO creation amusing, Zach just tells them "Hey, I'm an engineer. LEGOs are how I started my career."

Organize Your Silverware With LEGO

Using LEGO pieces gave him exactly the customizability he needed to get the job done. Plus, it was a good chance to play with his collection.

Make a LEGO Laptop Stand

Weston's project falls into that category of sure, I could go out and buy it but, you know, LEGOs! He has created a rather cool-looking laptop stand, which turns out is actually very stable.
